    Music, singing, dancing, drawing, programming, playing, exercising, just…creating. Creating shit for the sake of it, for other people, for myself. That’s life, that’s living.

        I don’t do blunts anymore, but I’ll happily take the beer and a wedge of blue cheese instead.

            A job that involves a shit tonne of medicals, tests, and samples, and I like my career. Plus I wasn’t really that into it to begin with.

    Connection.

    Connection with lovers, friends, family, other people, pets, the world.

    We are all wired to connect with others.

    The most valuable connections tend to be family, friends and lovers.

    It is what gives our lives meaning, in the end.

    Come close to, or sit on death’s doorway, and it becomes as clear as day what gave your life meaning.

    If you don’t have this, you become acutely aware of its true value.

    Gardening and forest gardening! Planting something starts another living organism and with good planning there may be no maintenance required on your part. You’ll just have this happy little tree/shrub/herb/vine growing its own way

        I’d suggest anyone intrigued read Gaia’s Garden by Toby Hemenway and look into permaculture!

        Starting your own forest garden is fantastic but please don’t alter any existing forests without learning about the existing eco system and which native plants would best fit into it

    People. Family, friends, community. We need one another. We get fulfillment and happiness from being with other people, helping and being helped. And just hanging out!

    Helping people with technology. I work IT. I was in a software development role (QA) that impacted far more people, but I didn’t interact with them. It was soul-sucking work. Working with people directly and seeing the results of my labor is nourishing.

    People scoff at this, but I managed to get myself a job I find very fulfilling. My work contributes positively to society. I feel useful and needed. I was missing that up until recently.

      I hope one day I can find one. It seems to me every software engineering jobs I found is not really fulfilling and it’s not clear to me whether my contributions are net positive or not

    Generally, I find fulfilment in doing things that are enjoyable which also have positive results. Work pays for stuff but I hate it, so it’s not fulfilling.

    Some current things in my life:

    Studying something I love even if it’s terrible for jobs.

    Somewhat finding my groove in music making, making it feel less like pulling teeth.

    Learning to drive in my stupid car that I love.
